A landscape surveyor has recently
been in Yankson laying off u park sur
rounding Bishop Martyrs residence and
the convent OF Mount Marty. He will
return IN the spring and complete the
work and will also lay ont a vineyard on
the south exposure of the mount. Plans
are being considered for the enlargement
of the bishops residence aud these will
be matured IN time to begin work with
the opening of spring.
Colonel F. A, Gale, Of Canton, arrived
to-day, bringing commissions for him
self and for M. I. Woolley, d. N.
Gross and Robert COX, of Yanktou, ae
trustees for the Dakota insane hospital.
As there are but two vacancies in the
board of trustees the governor must
have made a mistake In Issuing 30 many
commissions. Perhaps he intends
using the 1872, 900 to build an additional
hospital for the supernumerary trustees.
Dol Gale, who is to swear in as 8
trustee, wa seen by q reporter this
afternoon and asked to unbosom him
self. He said that Governor Church
was making an honest effort to right
the state Of affairs at the asylum and
had selected good, honest men for the
new board, "sbem." He further stated
that there was no existing reason why
the new board would not advertise for
and let the contracts for the new build
ings this tall.
Shelf Klncel and his deputy, Fred
Meth, had a merry chase after o man
named Lewis Shaffer, q peddler of PIC
tures, in Yankton yesterday and the off,
GERS were in doubt for some hours as to
whether they would be successful.
Shaffer obtained money under false pre-.
tences at Scotland and the officers there
allowed him to get out of town with the
Doodle. He was captured while plying
his vocation, peddling chromos, from
house to house.
The Milwaukee railway yards in this
CITY we're a soene of considerable excite.
ment yesterday afternoon. The train
from the east, which should have arrived
at II 80 a. m. pulled in at $40 p. m.
and received orders to pass the east
bound passenger, which arrives at $3.50
from Mitchell, at this station. The west
going train was side tracked and the
other train waited for and the waiting
: continued until about five O'Clock, when
q telephone message came in from the
: insane hospital announcing an accident
: to the east bound train at q point near
the hospital. There was no information
AS to the nature of the accident until the
arrival OF a messenger. who stated that
an eccentric blade on the locomotive
had been broken. At about 5:l5 the
disabled engine arrived with its train
i. and q moment later both trains left and
all was serene.
